Downtown in Business will host the annual Women in Business Awards Gala Lunch 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on the afternoon of Friday 7th March, followed by a spectacular after show party at the Malmaison Hotel.
The event will celebrate the finest female-led businesses, the established and up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and the women who make the most valuable contribution to the growth of the Liverpool City Region economy.
The head of events at Downtown in Business Beth McKenna said:
“We are really looking forward to hosting what will be a huge afternoon of celebration. There are some outstanding female business leaders across the country, and nowhere more so than in Liverpool. I know the list of nominees will be impressive, and we hope that some of the new categories we have introduced will generate support and interest too.”
“Please do take time out to tell us who you think should be up for an award. You’ve got to be in it to win it.”
